Um. Neither of those scenarios is a good thing you realize?

Selling a nuke is....I shouldn't even have to explain that.

And for the defensive angle I don't think they want one "just because" they know they are currently and will be in the future doing things that result in US and Israeli deaths. The more the better as far as they're concerned. This is not something we want to grant them.
